Pros and cons

According to our camcorder expert

With the 3-inch touchscreen you can easily change the settings.
Thanks to the maximum aperture of f/1.8-2.8, the lens remains bright for the entire zoom range.
The integrated variable ND filter lets you use slow shutter speeds and lower aperture settings.
Doesn't come with an SD included.

Description

The Canon Legria HF G50 is a user-friendly 4K camcorder that lets you capture your holiday and family moments. On the tiltable 3-inch touchscreen you can watch what you're recording and easily adjust the settings. Thanks to the 20x optical zoom and a maximum aperture of f/1.8-2.8, the lens remains bright for the entire zoom range. That way, you can keep recording while it's getting dark or when the ambient light changes. The lens has 8 circular aperture blades for a beautiful background blur. This makes the subject stand out form the background. The optical image stabilization ensures stable and sharp videos. The camcorder also has an integrated variable ND filter, so you can use slow shutter speeds and lower aperture settings. The Legria HF G50 is splash proof, so you can also record videos in bad weather conditions.

Review is 10 out of 10.

Thought about every brand, but bought the Canon at Coolbleu

Easy to get to know
Great to film with the lens hood
Easy to make a card suitable for the camera
Camcorder with screen and lens viewer. If one works, the other won't work.

A lot more convenient and easier than the Sony

Review is 9,6 out of 10.

A great camera at a great price.

Perfect and sharp image.
An inseparable duo in combination with the Canon DM-100 microphone.
Feels good in the hand.
Manual opening (and closing) of handles.

The Canon Legria HF-G50 4th video camera (previous models were from JVC. Because I am familiar with Canon cameras, the menu and operation of the camera was learned in no time. There are a lot of possibilities. The optical (20x) zoom is also very good. Only with images with high contrast may there be some aberration to be seen.

Better off buying a €300 camcorder!

Easy to use
Comfy
Good image stabilisation
Drops frame rate mid-recording

I bought this camera because I was looking for something easy to use, with acceptable image quality. I already own a pretty good DSLR, but it's a hassle to film with. It completely nailed the ease of use. Off to a good start..

.. boy, was I wrong!

Drops frame rates at different times during the recording (even at 1080x1920 30 FPS). Can't have that.
Low light is a joke. You definitely need good lighting before you start recording. I did expect bad low-light performance, but not this bad. This is due to the smaller sensor inside.
There is no depth of field (again due to a different sensor than we usually see in SLRs or DSLRs). I knew this already, but some people don't. This is purely subjective.
4K is a disaster. Frame rate drops constantly. Lots and lots of noise visible.
My phone (iPhone 11 Pro, but even my previous iPhone 8) has significantly better image quality.
And probably many other problems that definitely shouldn't be here at this price point! Honestly, there is no way you can justify this camera even with the pro's it's got listed above.

2/10, would not recommend. Go for a €300 JVC camcorder for the same results at a lower price.
